Jack Clarke Makes Spurs Move

Tottenham
Hotspur today completed their first signing of the summer transfer window, with
the capture of exciting young winger Jack Clarke from Leeds United. The deal
will see Clarke loaned back to Leeds for the upcoming 2019-20 season, with a
fee believed to be in the region of £10m agreed between the two clubs. Mauricio
Pochettino is keen to make significant additions to his squad during the
summer, with talk of a sustained challenge for the Premier League title being
the objective assuming the desired targets are delivered. Top casinos online and
sportsbooks make Tottenham Hotspur around a 16/1 chance to go three places
better than last term, with Manchester City the odds on favourites to retain
their crown.

At
just 18 years of age, Clarke has the potential to be a fixture at the Tottenham
Hotspur Stadium for a long time to come. Leeds United are likely to be in the
thick of things when it comes to the race for promotion in the Championship
this term, the Yorkshire outfit having just missed out last season following a
disappointing final few months. Leeds did make it to the playoffs but were
dumped out by Derby County at the semi final stage. Jack Clarke was a pivotal
part of Leeds United’s improved return in the Championship under Marcelo Bielsa,
and the youngster looks set to be a key part of their plans once again
following his return loan move.

Jack
Clarke made a total of 25 appearances for Leeds United during the 2018/19 campaign,
with his first team debut having come against Brentford on October 6th.
Clarke scored town goals and is also capable of playing as a striker. He had
been linked with a whole host of Premier League sides including Manchester City
and Manchester United prior to putting pen to paper at Spurs.

“I’m
delighted to join Tottenham and in the short term I’ll be giving my all to
hopefully help Leeds win promotion,” said Clarke.

Clarke
was happy that the deal meant he could spend another season with Leeds;

“It was a bit of a no-brainer really,” said Clarke. “The
option was always there. I just thought it would be definitely better for my
progression to spend another year here and I didn’t feel right leaving,
finishing how we left last season.

“I think the manager brought me on a lot as a player and
I think this season I’ll be even better getting another full season under him.

“Physically, I developed a lot playing senior
professional football and with movement and other things, he brought me on
massively.”

It
will be interesting to see exactly how many more new faces make their way to
the white part of North London in the coming weeks. The Premier League transfer
spend is sure to rival real money casino games
in terms of volume, with Tottenham likely to be particularly committed
following a long period of inactivity where new players are concerned.
